The Mazda2, also known in some markets as the Mazda Demio, has come a long way since it entered the market in 1996. Indeed the Mazda2 has Ford to thank for its original production – originally it was sold as a small minivan with its origins taken from the Ford Festiva. It was redesigned in 2002 with the Demio name dropped everywhere but Japan in favour of the Mazda2 marketing name. However, the most radical reinvention of the Mazda2 came in 2007 when it was made lighter, faster and more fuel efficient – the practical boxy shape replaced with a funkier, sexier body. Indeed the Mazda2 has been marketed as a ‘lean, green driving machine’.

Lovely little car that feels nippy around town and on the open road. Some nice little storage touches in the cabin and a really nice dash layout; the gearstick is especially well placed and makes for very comfortable driving. A great looking car for the money and low emissions mean it’s cheap to run and makes you feel less guilty about polluting the environment. A slightly bigger boot would be nice but it’s not a bad size.

Very nice little car.

The demo car I test-drove a couple of times was not as nippy as the one I have now finally bought. Why that is, I don’t know. The car is excellent for speeds up to 60-70mph but lacks a bit of punch to make for a truly enjoying long-journey-kind of car. It is quick off the mark, especially when you work the throttle and rev up a bit. You might have to switch down from 5th gear to 4th when you want to accelerate a bit quicker, which is fine by me as I don’t really need the car for that.

I like the looks and the feel of the car. It takes the corners much better than my old W-reg Punto which rolled a lot more. Good car for what you pay, and good car overall anyway really. I am very pleased.

Very nippy car. Looks great. Well equipped and well put together. Really cheap to run and insure yet looks a more expensive car than it really is. Have had mine only 2 months and already I love it! There does seem to be a lot of external noise though, which I’d say is the only thing that lets this car down but everything else certainly makes up for this.
